Google Authenticator
May 8, 2013 - On an iPhone, you can download the Google Authenticator app, which displays a code that changes every 30 seconds. This code allows you to. Download Google Authenticator and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Google Authenticator works with 2-Step Verification for your Google Account to provide an additional layer of security when signing in.
Google Authenticator is a multifactor app for mobile devices that generates timed codes used during the Two-Step Verification process.
Note: Feature availability may vary depending on your account type.
For LastPass admins, it is recommended that you complete the steps for enabling Multifactor Authentication in the Admin Console.
Set up the Google Authenticator app
- Install the Google Authenticator app on your iOS or Android device (more details for each device type can be found here).
- In the Google Authenticator window, click View your barcode in the 'To get started' section at the top of the window.
- When prompted, enter your Master Password then click Continue.
- On your mobile device, open the Google Authenticator app, tap the Add icon or Add an Account option, then tap Scan barcode.
- Use your device camera to scan the barcode, which will automatically populate a new entry for LastPass in the Google Authenticator app.
- Back on your web browser in the Google Authenticator window, click OK once the barcode has been scanned.

Note: If this option is selected and you are not connected to the internet and/or https://lastpass.com is not available, you will be unable to access your Vault. Learn more about offline access. - For the 'Barcode' option, click View anytime you need to scan your barcode again.

Using the Google Authenticator
- Open the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device.
- On your desktop web browser, log in to LastPass at https://lastpass.com/?ac=1.

Using multiple Multifactor Authentication options
Please note that if you have more than one Multifactor Authentication option enabled for your account, you must select your desired default authentication option from the drop-down menu at the bottom of your Multifactor Options window in order to be prompted to authenticate with your preferred option when logging in to LastPass.
Disabling authentication for a new or lost device
If your phone number has changed or mobile device used for authentication is lost, you can click I've lost my Google Authenticator device on the Multifactor Authentication window. Once redirected, you can enter your LastPass email address and click Send Email to be sent an email with a set of instructions on how to disable Multifactor Authentication. If you do not receive an email, you may have a secondary security email enabled where the email was sent instead, and/or check your spam/junk email filters. If you are an Enterprise user, your account may have policies enforced that prevent disabling Multifactor Authentication via email. For these users, please contact your LastPass admin to disable it for you.
